This week on the City Voice Podcast I [interviewer Bill Newgent] talk with Friederike Mittner, the City of West Palm Beach Historic Preservation Planner.
     We talk about why the historic preservation of historic homes and commercial buildings is more than a permitting nuisance. She outlines:

• Economic benefits.
• Job creation.
• Environmental benefits.
• Increasing property values in a variety of West Palm Beach neighborhoods.
• Paint color guidelines?
• Tax exemptions that come with your remodel and more.
